Why are we never happy with the UI that we carry? Is it envy? Maybe you think your neighbor’s home screen and animations look much cooler than yours, even if yours are good. If you have a non-Sony phone and have been drooling over their Active UI since the days of the X10, then you should really check out a thread that was started earlier today by XDA member AChep. The dev was able to extract the launcher for the enjoyment on other devices. However, it seems to be that the UI is only playing well with devices that carry, at the very least, Gingerbread. The dev mentions that the UI doesn’t play too nicely with Eclair or even Froyo, so if you are in the mood for testing it there, by all means. Moreover, he is not 100% certain but it may have resolution restrictions, although people have tried it in several different devices so far and seems to be working well.

Please step in the thread and try it on your device. After you are done, please post some results to see if there is indeed an issue with it being resolution specific or not.

As per dev. says, it will not work in Android 2.1. On 2.2, it will have FC with widget and It will run perfectly on 2.3.
